Reflective Reality: Mirrors That Challenge Your Perceptions
Quick Intro
Imagine a mirror that doesn’t just show your face, but also warps and shifts your reflection to make you question what you see—and yourself.
Introduction
In a world obsessed with digital filters and curated online personas, the "Reflective Reality" project turns the mirror into a device for philosophical playfulness and self-exploration. It confronts how we perceive ourselves versus how the world does.
Features
- Mirrors that distort reflections subtly or wildly, creating unexpected images.
- Interactive elements where users can control the type and strength of distortion.
- Embedded questions and prompts appearing on the mirror surface encouraging self-reflective thought.
- Integration with augmented reality to overlay digital reflections with personal data or mood indicators.
Why It Matters
As social media fuels a culture of idealized appearances and fragmented identities, this idea provides a tangible, physical counterpoint—inviting us back to the simple yet complex act of looking at ourselves honestly. It challenges the reliability of our perception and sparks conversations about authenticity, self-image, and reality in the digital age.
